There is no non-stop between Jaipur and Port Blair — it's a long cross-country journey to the Andaman Islands flown as a one-stop connection. The two natural hubs are Kolkata (CCU), the closest mainland gateway to the Andamans, and Chennai (MAA); Delhi is also used.
IndiGo has the widest network into Port Blair, with Air India and Air India Express also serving the islands from Kolkata and Chennai. Go First and Jet Airways are defunct, and Vistara has merged into Air India — ignore old listings. Book on a single ticket where possible for through-checked bags. Compare on FlightGPT.
It's about 2,650 km from Jaipur to Port Blair. With one stop, total travel time is typically 6 to 8 hours depending on the hub and layover. Via Kolkata is usually the most time-efficient because the CCU–IXZ leg is short and frequent; via Chennai works well too. There's no time difference — both are on IST, though sunrise in the Andamans is noticeably early.
One operational quirk: nearly all Port Blair flights operate in the morning to early afternoon because the airport has limited night-operations capacity. Plan an early start.
The Andamans peak in the dry, calm winter season; fares to IXZ are among India's more expensive per kilometre because of limited capacity. Book early.
| Period | Demand | Booking advice |
|---|---|---|
| Oct–Mar (peak season) | Very high | Book 6–8 weeks ahead |
| Apr–May (shoulder) | Moderate | 3–5 weeks ahead |
| Jun–Sep (monsoon) | Lower | Cheaper; rougher seas/weather |
Because seats into Port Blair are capped, last-minute fares spike sharply in winter — early booking is the single biggest saving here.
What actually helps on this long one-stop route:
No fixed rupee figure is quoted; see live prices on FlightGPT.
You're effectively forced into an early-morning departure from Jaipur because Port Blair flights run in daylight hours. Target the earliest sensible Jaipur flight to the hub so you catch a same-day onward leg to IXZ — connecting overnight at the hub is common if you start late.
Aim to land in Port Blair by early afternoon to clear the airport and reach your hotel or the Havelock/Neil ferry in daylight.
Leisure travellers and honeymooners (most of this route): book a single through-ticket via Kolkata with a comfortable layover, travel Oct–May, and pre-book inter-island ferries to Havelock (Swaraj Dweep) and Neil (Shaheed Dweep).
Families: the early-morning, one-stop reality means a long travel day — pack snacks and plan a rest day on arrival.
Budget travellers: shoulder season (Apr–May) and a self-connection via the cheaper hub can cut costs, but leave a safe layover given the island leg is hard to rebook.
Jaipur (JAI): single passenger terminal for domestic and international; straightforward departure.
Port Blair (IXZ): Veer Savarkar International Airport opened a modern new integrated terminal (inaugurated 2023) that hugely improved capacity. Note Port Blair city was officially renamed Sri Vijaya Puram in 2024, though the airport keeps the Veer Savarkar name and the IXZ code.
Connecting via Kolkata (CCU) uses a single integrated terminal; via Chennai (MAA), domestic flights use Terminal 1.
At Jaipur: the airport is about 10–13 km from the city; app cabs and pre-paid taxis serve it.
At Port Blair: Veer Savarkar Airport is just 2–4 km from the town centre, so transfers are quick. Pre-paid taxis and autos are available. If you're heading straight to Havelock or Neil, the jetty for inter-island ferries is in town — confirm your ferry timing before you land.
Standard domestic economy is 15 kg check-in and 7 kg cabin, with hand-baggage-only on the cheapest fares; on a connecting ticket the allowance follows your fare. See IndiGo baggage, Air India baggage and Air India Express baggage.
Pack light for the islands but bring reef-safe sunscreen, water shoes and a dry bag. On a single ticket your bags check through to IXZ; on a self-connection you collect and recheck at the hub.
Indian citizens no longer need a Restricted Area Permit (RAP) to visit Port Blair and most Andaman tourist areas, following the 2022 simplification — carry only a valid photo ID. (Foreign nationals and certain restricted islands still have separate rules.)
The best weather is October to May; the monsoon (Jun–Sep) brings rough seas that can suspend ferries. Mobile and internet connectivity in the Andamans can be patchy and slower than the mainland — download maps and tickets offline, and carry some cash, as card and UPI acceptance is uneven outside Port Blair.
Port Blair seats are capped and winter fares climb fast, so book early and compare the Kolkata and Chennai routings in one search on FlightGPT. Favour a single through-ticket given the island leg is hard to rebook, and plan an early-morning Jaipur start. More guides at all routes and the FlightGPT blog.

Typically 6 to 8 hours total with one stop, depending on the hub and layover. Via Kolkata is usually the quickest.
No. Since the 2022 rule change, Indian citizens don't need a Restricted Area Permit for Port Blair and most Andaman tourist areas. Carry a valid photo ID.
Kolkata is closest to the Andamans and usually fastest; Chennai is a good alternative. Compare both, as fares and timings vary by date.
IndiGo has the widest network, with Air India and Air India Express also serving IXZ from Kolkata and Chennai. Go First and Jet Airways are defunct; Vistara has merged into Air India.
Veer Savarkar Airport has limited night-operations capacity, so flights run in daylight hours. Plan an early-morning start from Jaipur.
Yes, the city was officially renamed Sri Vijaya Puram in 2024. The airport keeps the Veer Savarkar International name and the IXZ code.
Book 6–8 weeks ahead for the October–March peak, as capacity is limited and fares rise close to departure. Shoulder months (Apr–May) are cheaper.
Yes. Under DGCA rules an airline cancellation entitles you to a full refund or free re-accommodation. On a connecting ticket the carrier should rebook you.
Typically 15 kg check-in plus 7 kg cabin on domestic economy, with hand-baggage-only lead-in fares. See the IndiGo, Air India and Air India Express baggage pages.
Yes, on each leg, opening around 48 hours before departure. On a connecting itinerary you may check in per segment.
Flights mostly operate year-round, but the Andaman monsoon (Jun–Sep) brings rough seas that can suspend inter-island ferries. Plan accordingly.
Some carriers allow small pets in cabin or as cargo with advance booking; rules vary and island travel adds complexity. Confirm with the airline before travel.
Yes. Infants under two travel on an adult's lap for a nominal fee on each leg. Carry age proof and book the infant on the same PNR.
For connecting routes an OTA can sometimes assemble a cheaper combination, but direct booking is simpler for a hard-to-rebook island route. Compare both on FlightGPT.
